My friend Andrew Wimmer texted me the following two lines…
[Paul] Street’s dementia: “the Kremlin [is] in the grip of a megalomaniacal neofascist…”
Stephen F. Cohen on accusations of fascism leveled against Putin: “absurd.”
Street writes at Counterpunch, where Andrew and I have been published in the past; Cohen wrote many books on the Soviet Union and Russia while a prof at Princeton and NYU.
